So this morning we received the results from the EEG test Bryce had on the 27th of December.

The results were 100% normal. Both for awake and asleep states. No abnormalities, none.

What does this mean?

Well, it means the doctor’s whom I now I owe over five-thousand dollars to have no idea what caused my five year old son to have a seizure on the 12th of December.

It also means that he doesn’t have epilepsy or any other brain disorder. It means that he most likely had a one time seizure episode that he will—like many others—tell folks about when he’s older. It means he’s blessed to have had so many people praying for him.

The pediatrician, says we can take steps and have a consultation with a pediatric neurologist to see what advice he may have. But, she said it would boil down to him advising us one of two ways; medication or wait and watch.

Medication, is not a route I would like to go. Firstly, what would they medicate him for? They have no idea what caused the seizure. Secondly, I’ve read that medication can change the demeanor of the person taking it, to me that is a giant red flag.

Amy and I are still discussing what to do next, but we will probably not go see the specialist, since it’s quite clear he won’t have any new information, which will cost even more to confirm.

Again, to all. Thank you from the bottom of our collective Mathias heart. Your prayers, well wishes and kindnesses have gotten us through one of the most difficult times we’ve had as a family. I love you all.
